REPORT OF THE COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH NETWORK (CRN3) RESEARCHERS MEETING

The CRN3 Researchers Meeting focused on improving the translation of scientific research into actionable policy outputs. Key discussions centered on the challenges of interdisciplinary science, the establishment of an IAI open data platform supported by the Government of Uruguay, and the creation of a special peer-reviewed journal issue to compile CRN3 position papers. The meeting also explored collaborations between IAI and global bodies like the IPCC and IPBES to better align scientific projects with national environmental frameworks.

• The IAI aims to improve the translation of high-quality science into actionable outputs for stakeholders, recognizing that as a governmental organization, this translation is a priority.
• Collaborations with the IPCC and IPBES were identified to help translate scientific results for policy makers and align IAI projects with national environmental frameworks.
• The science-to-policy process is described as complex and iterative, requiring flexibility and specific efforts for the co-production of knowledge. Interdisciplinarity was found to facilitate better integration with social sciences.
• The IAI is developing an open data system to register information from CRN3 and other projects, utilizing an open data catalog provided by the Government of Uruguay through the Uruguayan Agency for e-Government and Information Society (AGESIC).
• Participants agreed to a plan for a special issue of a peer-reviewed policy/development journal to compile position papers based on CRN3 projects, with a publication timeline of 12 to 18 months.
• The IAI is exploring the establishment of a Belmont-like forum of funding agencies in the Americas to ensure the sustainability of its Science Program, and will host the Belmont Forum Secretariat in Montevideo.
